Most of the morning was spent pottering about, and after lunch of leftovers from yesterday, Sophie and I went to Tesco as I needed to get Mum some things. I'd already bought her a card and chocolates, but I wanted to get her a bunch of flowers as well. Imagine my shock when every single tub was empty! Not one bunch to be had! In the end, I settled for two bunches of daffodils!
The previously good weather turned to rain, and it was lashing down when we drove to the care home. Predictably, it was busy, and I had a feeling my Mum was going to be in a bad mood today. It was just a premonition I had, and I was proved correct when we walked into her room.
She seemed preoccupied with a woman whom she said had ignored her, and wouldn't stop talking about it for the whole time we were there. We tried to steer her away from the subject, but she was morose and not at all like she was last Thursday when I visited.
We stayed and chatted and opened a bottle of non-alcoholic Prosecco, and enjoyed some chocolate cakes we'd bought in Tesco. It wasn't the best of visits!
Back home, I relaxed in the living room, and the curse of Sunday Syndrome descended again... to chase it away, Sophie and I played Scrabble and opened a bottle of Rosé. It was an excellent game, and it was neck and neck right up to the last tile! I beat Sophie, and she was very gracious in defeat!
Our planned meal of beef stroganoff was postponed until tomorrow, and Keith and Sophie just had a snack. I had enjoyed a slice of Sophie's delicious Victoria sponge cake at lunchtime, and that did me for the rest of the day!
